Bill Dearborn, you've made a good point :thumbs: . I've never thought of having straight pipes instead of aftermarket mufflers :rolleyes: . Since I am and industrial equipment buyer, I can order these stainless steel or titanium. Stainless steel is about 6 bucks/ft. Now, I need to know how other members of this forum have installed theirs. Any tips from you.
As a matter of fact, I am going to make this a topic.
Thank YOU.

Yup. The Stingers sound badass.

(Where's the best price on these things? I'm gonna start my modding eventually...) :cheers:

I have the Borla XR1 and love it. Mine though is through headers, and gutted cats. Very loud but sounds awesome. I have some sound deadening materails on the way (B-Quiet: Brown Bread and Quiet LComp), so I'll see if that eliminates that resonance from 1500-3000. I cannot personally coment on the Loudmouths, but many have said they are very loud and sound aggressive. I have heard Loudmouths also have some resonance like the XR1s.
